May 2016 This event brings together breeders, scientists and industry professionals from across New Zealand. It will be held in Dunedin on 14 and 15 July. Our 2016 Sheep Breeder Forum will cover a range of topics including performance gains from SIL developments, a focus on meat quality and carcass traits, and how the B+LNZ Genetics Central Progeny Test is being revised to deliver more value. Day two of the forum will involve a field trip to Invermay for a series of interactive workshops and a visit to the feed intake facility.
